Systems and methods for managing distributed computing resources including blockchain-based management of serverless computing and edge computing. Distributed computing resources are managed on a peer-to-peer network, and serverless functions are hosted on a distributed IT infrastructure. Developers for the serverless functions and providers of distributed IT infrastructure utilize a blockchain-based IT marketplace platform to make transactions relating to computing resource consumption.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The system of claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of infrastructure nodes is associated with an account, wherein the account includes an account ID, an application identifier (ID), a function uniform resource identifier (URI), and/or a hash value for the function.
3. The system of claim 1, wherein the edge computing resource capacity and/or the edge computing resource consumption is a measurement based on a central processing unit (CPU) clock speed, a memory capacity value, a storage value, a disk input/output (I/O) value, and a local area network (LAN) I/O value.
4. The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one computing resource transaction includes an application identifier (ID), the edge computing resource consumption, and/or a log recording a function uniform resource identifier (URI) for the at least one application program.
5. The system of claim 1, wherein the function corresponding to the function request includes a hash value, wherein the plurality of infrastructure nodes is operable to validate the hash value for the function corresponding to the function request, wherein the function transitions to a validated function once the hash value for the function is validated, and wherein execution of the validated function results in the at least one computing resource transaction.
6. The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one computing resource transaction includes a real-time digitization of physical computing assets and/or tokens from at least one smart contract executed on the distributed ledger-based edge computing marketplace platform.
7. The system of claim 1, further comprising a web server operable to interact with an object storage server, provide a command-line interface (CLI) for at least one application program developer, and/or provide a web server gateway for at least one function executor.
8. The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one computing resource transaction is operable to be validated by at least one witness device.
10. The system of claim 9, wherein the first query response includes an application identifier (ID) and/or a function name from the DNS database.
11. The system of claim 9, wherein the at least one application program includes an application identifier (ID), wherein the nearest infrastructure node dereferences the application ID to obtain an account ID, a function, a function uniform resource locator (URL), and a hash value for the at least one function.
12. The system of claim 9, wherein if the at least one function is not located on the nearest infrastructure node, then the nearest infrastructure node retrieves the at least one function from an object storage server in a cloud database.
13. The system of claim 9, further comprising at least one router in network communication with the distributed ledger-based edge computing marketplace platform, wherein the at least one router is operable to access the infrastructure node database.
14. The system of claim 9, wherein executing the at least one function includes at least one transaction for computing resources, and wherein the at least one transaction for computing resources is recorded on a distributed ledger.
16. The method of claim 15, further comprising the plurality of smart meters measuring the edge computing resource capacity and/or the edge computing resource consumption based on a central processing unit (CPU) clock speed, a memory capacity value, a storage value, a disk input/output (I/O) value, and a local area network (LAN) I/O value.
17. The method of claim 15, wherein each of the plurality of infrastructure nodes is associated with an account, wherein the account includes an account ID, an application identifier (ID), a function uniform resource identifier (URI), and/or a hash value for the function.
18. The method of claim 15, further comprising executing at least one smart contract on the distributed ledger-based edge computing marketplace platform, wherein the at least one computing resource transaction includes a real-time digitization of physical computing assets and/or tokens from the at least one smart contract.
19. The method of claim 15, wherein the function corresponding to the function request includes a hash value, further comprising the plurality of infrastructure nodes validating the hash value for the function corresponding to the function request, wherein the function transitions to a validated function once the hash value for the function is validated.
20. The method of claim 15, further comprising validating the at least one computing resource transaction using at least one witness device.
